Sheikh Mohammad Ali Amini told ceremony marking Persian Gulf National Day that Great Prophet (PBUH) has also named the waterway as Persian Sea.
The name of Persian Gulf has not only been registered as Persian Gulf in the international circles such as the UN Security Council but also in historical documents, the cleric said.
Certain countries' efforts to distort Persian Gulf name will get nowhere, he said, noting that such a reality cannot be overlooked by empty excuses.
The enemies have distorted Persian Gulf's name to block Iran's successes, he said.
Certain Persian Gulf littoral states' efforts to change the waterway's name had been doomed to failure due to historical documents, Amini said.
